We don’t see enough novelty light switches here at the Lab. That’s probably because most of them look like Mickey Mouse or the Teletubbies*. The Cubic Switchplate, though, is different, being both cool enough and nerdy enough to make it into these pages.
The Cubic Switchplate is an optical illusion, a plastic rendering of a switchbox as it would appear in 3D. Or almost as it would appear. The isometric projection would never be seen in real life, but that just makes it better from a geek point-of-view. Better, the plates only cost $9 each, and can be had in black or white, and cover either power outlests or light-switches. Hideous teal wall not included.

*Thankfully, the Teletubbies novelty switch=plate doesn’t yet exist. Searching for it, though, I came across another item, a talking Tinky Winky. As a gadget, it’s not even worth mentioning, but the review below it is quite, quite awesome.
